NURS 150 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS
What is Anatomy - ANSWER-study of structure
What is physiology - ANSWER-Study of function
Is structure developed in order to support function or is function developed in order support structure -
ANSWER-Structure is developed in order to support function; think uterus and pregnancy
true or false: physiology is the study of the functions of anatomical structures as well as individual and
cooperative functions - ANSWER-True
What is cell physiology - ANSWER-Study of the functions of cells
What is organ physiology - ANSWER-Study of the functions of specific organs
What is systemic physiology - ANSWER-Study of the functions of organ systems
What is pathological physiology - ANSWER-Study of the effects of disease on organs or systems
Which physiology is the most prominent in the nursing profession - ANSWER-Pathological physiology
What is used in clinical settings to make management plans or treatment plans for a patient - ANSWER-
General physiology and pathology physiology
What is the significant difference between a sign and a symptom - ANSWER-A sign is something that the
physician observes whereas a symptom is something that the patient feels themselves
How do clinicians reach a diagnosis - ANSWER-Through using scientific method by evaluating
observations
true or false: clinicians form a hypothesis by scientific method and further test the hypothesis through
collecting and analyzing data - ANSWER-True
ALL INFORMATION COLLECTED AND ANALYZED REFLECTS THE PHYSIOLOGICAL (OR
PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL) PROCESSES - ANSWER-just know that
What are the functional levels of organization - ANSWER-Chemical, cellular, tissue
What organs are included in the integumentary system - ANSWER-Skin, hair, nails, sweat glands
What is the function of the integumentary system as a whole - ANSWER-Protects against environmental
hazards, helps regulate body temp, provides sensory information (goes into nerve centres in the brain)
Why organs make up the skeletal system - ANSWER-Bones, cartilage, associated ligaments, bone marrow
What are the functions of the skeletal system - ANSWER-Provides support and protection, storage of
calcium and other minerals, forms blood cells
What are the organs of the muscular system - ANSWER-Muscles and associated tendons (also nervous
integration that occur through NS into muscles)
What are the functions of the muscular system - ANSWER-Provides mvmt, protection and support of
other tissues, generates heat the maintains body temp (cellular level of muscles also provides energy)
What are the major organs of the nervous system - ANSWER-Brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerves,
sense organs
What are the functions of the nervous system - ANSWER-Directs immediate responses to stimuli,
coordinates or moderates other organ systems, provides and interprets sensory information
